Claudia Cohen

Californian artist Claudia Cohen creates her unique sculptures in ceramic and bronze. By exploring figurative and narrative subjects, her work raises questions about the human condition with impactul form rather than confinement to realism. Claudia's style has been described as comic surrealism, a style that blends objective reality with mythology and flights of fancy. Claudia received her art education at The School of The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts and then moved to the West Coast and opened her studio in the artist community of Sausalito, CA on the San Francisco Bay. Her magic-surreal style, unique colored patinas and mixture of humor and pathos causes art-lovers worldwiide to seek-out the mysterious-visions that her sculptures evoke. In 2008 Sculptor Claudia Cohen was featured in Turin, Italy at the MIAAO Museum as representative of The School of California Funk Ceramics.

Aleksandr Starodubov

I was born in Moscow in 1959. I live in Moscow. I use mixed media in my work: tempera, acrylic. Probably, my genes, for it was a matter of chance. I have been painting professionally since 1988 after the retirement from the Army. Before that I was an amateur artist.

Guine Gerard, 1947 | Abstract Figurative painter


Un bien bel artiste, Gérard GUINÉ, dans ce genre délicat représenté par la femme en séduction et en mystère. Son réalisme n'est jamais inanimé malgré les poses de ses modèles, tant il sait les diversifier avec de subtiles évocations, redoublant le personnage en lui insufflant sortilège et grâce. La technique est remarquable et la lumière glisse avec une tendre efficacité sur la peau de biens jolies personnes tandis que de somptueux tissus et décors s'en donnent à coeur joie au sein de compositions attentives. Du métier, de la sensisibilité, de l'imagination et une perception magique de la beauté font de Gérard GUINÉ un maître en la matière. | André RUELLAN, critique d'art

Raff Boyadjian, 1948

Armenian painter Raff Boyadjian grew up in Gyumri, one of the country's cultural centers. As a youngster, his first impressions of life swelled in him as he absorbed the spirit of the people, their happiness and joy, the depth of their traditions, and the pride of their heritage. These impressions continue to spring forth from him and are continually translated onto his canvas. Boyadjian studied fine art at several schools, including the prestigious University of Fine Arts and Theater. It was there that he mastered the art of painting and produced works that have been kept to this day by the school as examples of excellence for student reference. Boyadjian's diplomate work, entitled "Circus", received widespread critical acclaim, and the work was subsequently exhibited in Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev and other major Russian cities.
